any idea what that means? here's what i've done:
installed gentoo 1.2 running X 4.2 & kde 3.1.1
emerged vmware-workstation
ran the config program and guessed at the values
(pretty much went with the default every time)
installed windows98 on the syntetic partition.
and where's what i can do
run programs
install stuff
surf all over google etc.
but i can't do the most important thing for me:
i can't connect to samba shares on my own network.
double-clicking on "network neighbourhood" brings up the usual window, with
"entire network" and "alexandria" (my samba fileserver). but double-clicking
on alexandria produces the following error:
\\Alexandria is not available
No permission to access resource
what does that mean anyway? i've setup windows to use the same username and
password that i use on this machine when i reboot to windows (i also have a
windows partition) and it works when i go that route. i've also tried
disabling the firewalls on both boxes (desktop and fileserver) to no avail.
the only sticking point that i can find is the network config in windows...
i'm using a different ip than the "host" computer:
gateway: xxx.xxx.xxx.1
desktop: xxx.xxx.xxx.2
desktop (vmware: win98): xxx.xxx.xxx.5
fileserver: xxx.xxx.xxx.3
if anyone on this list has any experience with vmware etc. i'd greatly
appreciate some pointers ;-)
thanks
